Queensland’s biggest street dance battle is back again, welcoming international guests and some of Australia’s finest to Brisbane for two days of exhilarating freestyle dance competitions and social dance. Up for grabs: Cash Prizes, International Flights, Accommodation and Wildcard Entry into Radikal Forze Jam, Asia’s biggest independent international dance festival, to be held in Vietnam March 2025.

Day 1 (Qualifiers) will feature a qualification draw for 3 categories: Hip Hop 1v1, Popping 1v1 and Open Styles 1v1. This is not a day to miss, with over 6 hours of battles to feature.

Day 2 (Finals) will see the top dancers from the qualifications compete for the ultimate prize. Expect to see dancers from a range of styles represent their communities, including Hip Hop, Popping, Krump, House, Locking, Waacking, Dancehall and more. An open party will follow the finals, with DJs spinning tunes that will get you on your feet and exchanging on the dance floor.

Food trucks and a bar will be open on both days (Vegan options will be offered), and we're even bringing in some industrial airconditioning units to keep the space cool amidst the heat of the battles!

With international guest judges KrazyBonez (Taiwan) and Kidd Konkrete (New Zealand), and top artists from across Australia on the line-up, you won’t want to miss this calendar event showcasing the best in Australian and Asian Street Dance.
